"Usually, he had an extremely fine-tuned sense of smell, but now all he could smell was a general reek of beer, fried food and regret."

This makes it into my top ten favorite sentences fanfic has gifted to the world.

I have loved reading this whole series! Was exactly what I was after in a story. Well done on fabulous writing and characterisation. Loved every chapter.

I loved this so much! I didn't check the length and before I knew it I was hooked and it's midnight on a work night. But this was so great! Realistic in showing all the characters, tying together all parts of how life would continue on after TFP. I loved it! Fantastic job!

Lovely story. Well done.

Wow! That was a nicely written, well plotted story. Good length, nice pacing. Possibly a bit too sentimental on Sherlock's part, but you kept it from running off the rails, and who's to say that his time with Eurus and coming to terms with his past might not have long-term effects on him, causing him to open his heart more to those around him? Anyway, I have enjoyed this story and its prequel very much! Nice reintroduction of Sarah there at the end...please tell me you plan to flesh out that relationship in future writings? I always did like Sarah, and love the back story you provided created to fill in her story since we saw her last. Now off to read more of your work!

Definitely up for those one-shot sequels! Not just Sherlock and Molly, but maybe the kids, Mrs Hudson and the kids, Greg and the kids, John and the kids, Mycroft and one kid (already one too many xD), John and Sarah etc. As you can see "The Kids" is my main focus HAHAHA

What a beautiful ending, it was such a surprise to see Sarah again, definitely didn't expect this genius move to reintroduce her ;) And absolutely love that the epilogue ended with John's POV, reading it just seemed right, maybe because a tone of finality would not have worked so well with Sherlock. :) All in all it's been a wonderful, thrilling ride, thank you for posting! c:

Thank you for a wonderful series!

Please please pleeeease post some one shots of this! I just don't want it to be over, it's so good!

fantastic and completely delightful. You are truly an amazing and awesome writer!

It’s official! Your stories are canon to me now!
I don’t care if the show continues and how it continues. For me it’s your vision what is “5th season”. Well done!
Xxxx

You included a puppy AND a daughter?! Yay! And, yes, please do a one shot with John, Rosie and Sarah and her son. I don't think Mary would mind if he started over with a new family. As for "lost scenes", please do Bea's birth and getting Hamish. Merry Christmas!

Such a beautiful ending! Loved every second of this.

Loved it!

So Molly put her foot down that three was enough, not the seven Sherlock mentioned at some point. Glad they got a girl after Teddy.

I loved every single word of this epilogue. And bringing back Sarah - brilliant! Here's hoping they soon have baby of their own :)
